But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would anticipate hopefully that Auburn has cleared these things up, and that when we review it in December that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36872]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would anticipate hopefully that Auburn has cleared these things up, and that when we review it in December that they will be cleared up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all consider Jeremy to be a huge part of this team and this program.

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54883]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form.

Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/550]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Visits always give pleasure - if not the arrival, the departure ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Visits always give pleasure - if not the arrival, the departure]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60889</guid></item></channel></rss>
